Reinventing Work: Creating Advantage With Talent Management and Technology : Creating Advantage with Talent Management and Technology

Organizations often declare that their biggest asset is their people. As such, business leaders make constant efforts to hire the best talent - and to get the best out of their workers. But a confluence of forces is reshaping all aspects of talent management. A war for talent rages and will be exacerbated in the long-term by demographic aging; the half-life of skills is decreasing as AI powers more parts of business workflows; flexible and hybrid work models are becoming commonplace; and management methods focused on measurement and efficiency are not sufficient for engaging a purpose-seeking generation.

In these turbulent times, CEOs and their entire teams - not just HR - need to rethink how they can create a people advantage, going beyond traditional approaches to organization, performance management, and compensation. This book - a collection of recent essays written by researchers at the BCG Henderson Institute, Boston Consulting Group's think tank - aims to help leaders to reinvent work by providing a forward-looking perspective on all aspects of talent management.

Across five chapters, the book discusses

• How to attract the talent of the future
• How to shape the workforce in an evolving context
• How to embrace new models of work
• How to build the workplace of the future
• How to establish new models of leadership and culture

By providing a combination of new ideas, real-world examples, and concrete recommendations, Reinventing Work serves as a guide for leaders to effectively navigate the changing nature of work.
